Moose spawn locations in Forlorn Muskeg

[ShootTheMoose]

I'm trying to shoot a moose in Forlorn Muskeg for a personal challenge (shooting a moose in each region). I've looked at the whiteberry map and it shows the moose spawn locations as the Marsh Ridge and the NE part of the region (to the right when you enter FM from ML). So far my camping in those areas was not successful. Does anyone know if there are other locations in FM where the moose can appear?

Near the transition cave to Bleak Inlet was the spawn place I remember .

Thank you. I'll go camping there for a while.

I was harassed by moose on Marsh Ridge plateau. Barely escaped using rope down to main area.

Marsh Ridge is my favorite place in FM for moose hunting, and the place I've had the most success. They can take weeks to spawn though, no matter where you look.

Yeah the moose in FM is elusive. In other regions a moose appeared relatively quickly. I also still need to hunt the moose in Desolation Point. Haven't seen that one very often in previous runs but DP is smaller so the moose should be easier to spot than in FM.

The Desolation spawn is always around that bridge , never had any luck hunting him there no good tree or rock outcrop to shoot at him to avoid getting stomped.

Throwing a few rocks at the moose to guide it to a better spot often works well. Of the 8 moose i shot so far in this run (7 with the rifle, 1 with the bow) one managed to stomp me. That happened because i got stuck in the terrain for a few seconds while retreating.

I'm giving up. It's not fun anymore. Either i have no luck at FM or there is a bug with the moose spawn. I have stayed in and patrolled the whole region for 22 days. Also have mountains of wolf meat that i shot out of boredom. Perhaps i'll try it again next winter.

Not true. If you go along the cliff edge, you'll find you can end up making your way to an outcropping right next to the waterfall with a fantastic view of the bridge and no way for the moose to get you.

Take lots of arrows if you're bow hunting; it's a long shot and you'll definitely need to arc the flight path of the arrow.
